Cervical erosion is a frequent and common disease in women. The literature reports its prevalence to be as high as 40-60% in married and fertile women. The female cervix is divided into an inner and an outer opening. The epithelium of the inner orifice is a slender, mucus-secreting red columnar cell, while the outer orifice is covered by a grayish-yellow squamous epithelium. Under the influence of certain factors, the squamous epithelium of the external opening of the cervix becomes covered by the columnar epithelium and cervical erosion is formed. When the erosion surface is observed under colposcopy, it is actually intact columnar epithelium, which is observed as red erosion-like to the naked eye because the columnar epithelium is a single layer with a red interstitium underneath. This shows that cervical erosion is not true erosion, but only feels intuitively like erosion compared to a normal smooth cervix. This change is related to the displacement of the junction between the squamous and columnar epithelium of the cervix. Colposcopic observation of cervical “erosion” is a squamous-columnar junction transformation zone. Many women are so afraid of this disease, in large part because they are frightened by the word “celiac”. Many women are accidentally found to have cervical erosion during a normal physical examination when they had no previous symptoms. Why is this? This is because cervical erosion itself is not an inflammatory condition, i.e. it is not an epithelial loss and inflammatory reaction in the pathological sense, but an ectopic cervical columnar epithelium, which is one of the physiological changes of the cervix and not a pathological change. When there is no pathogenic microbial infection, that is, when there is no combined inflammation, patients with cervical erosion may have no clinical symptoms or may only show increased discharge. Some patients may present with bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse. Of course, there are some patients with more severe symptoms, and in addition to abnormal leucorrhea, they may also have symptoms such as backache, vulvar and vaginal itching. However, this is not due to celiac disease itself, but mostly due to a combined inflammatory infection. Some people believe that cervical erosion is caused by sexual life, so once they are diagnosed with cervical erosion, they are quite reluctant to have a sexual life. In fact, this view is wrong. At present, the real etiology of celiac disease is still unclear. It is generally believed that mechanical stimulation or injury after marriage, such as childbirth, abortion or too frequent sexual intercourse, can cause varying degrees of cervical squamous epithelial destruction and a decrease in local resistance of the cervix, which can easily cause cervical inflammation. However, it is clinically found that women who do not have sex still have cervical erosion, sometimes even severe erosion. This shows that sexual life is not the culprit of cervical erosion. At the same time, experts remind unmarried, or non-sexual women, if they have persistent leucorrhea, or with changes in color and texture, they should also visit a gynecological clinic in time to identify the cause and treat it in time. Cervical erosion does not necessarily lead to infertility In the past, it was believed that cervical erosion is often accompanied by inflammation, and inflammatory cells can engulf sperm and also lead to changes in the nature of cervical mucus, thus preventing sperm from penetrating the cervical mucus and reaching the uterine cavity. As the sperm cannot reach the uterine cavity, they naturally cannot meet the egg and conception cannot take place. However, it is now found that more young women have cervical erosion that is only an alteration of the cervical epithelial cell type and is not accompanied by an inflammatory infection and therefore does not lead to infertility. For women who are ready to get pregnant, if celiac disease is not accompanied by any symptoms, fertility specialists recommend that they should actively try to get pregnant without rushing to do much treatment for celiac disease. If it is accompanied by excessive leucorrhea or yellowish leucorrhea that has caused discomfort, it can be treated with appropriate medication and pregnancy can be attempted after the symptoms have improved. Celiac disease has nothing to do with cancer. Many women with celiac disease are worried about cervical cancer, believing that the heavier and longer the celiac disease is, the more likely cervical cancer will occur. Theoretically, cervical erosion is a pathological change, which is caused by the replacement of the squamous epithelium of the cervix by the columnar epithelium, rather than true erosion. Cervical cancer, on the other hand, is an abnormal change in the squamous epithelium of the cervix, mainly due to human papilloma virus infection. The causes and pathogenesis of the two are different, as are the pathological changes. Therefore, simple cervical erosion, if not combined with HPV infection, does not lead to the development of cervical cancer. However, women with cervical erosion should be reminded that during gynecological examination, cervical exfoliation cytology should be performed to initially exclude the possibility of cervical cancer. It is difficult to distinguish early cervical cancer from cervical erosion by gynecological examination alone. If possible, HPV test should be performed along with cervical exfoliation cytology to exclude the possibility of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.
